Feeling somewhat run down I met Rob and Neil at the entrance to campus. It was very hot out. We quickly retreated to the shady hallway student center and skated flatground for a while. Unfortunately Neil quickly established his knees would not be working. He did get some cool nollie crack bonks, no complys, 180s, half cabs, fakie bigspins first at least. Rob got his quick footed magic going. Fakie bigspin, nollie shove, no comply shove. Wallie nollies, back 180s, nollie bonk shifties. I really struggled and it bummed me out. Fakie flips were hard. Argh. I had some fun though. The nollie crack bonk back 180’s were fun, got a couple halfcab flip, f/s halfcab flip, b/s flip, varial flop. I was not happy with my inconsistency. Then we went to the bank spot and saw they had stopped it. Such a bummer. We checked out the new spot, but our knees hurt too much to skate it. Ended up at a bench down stairs where my knees wouldn’t even let me pose noseslides down it. Argh.
